WORLDS OF MUSIC: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE MUSIC OF THE WORLD'S PEOPLES

Intended for students with no prior musical training, this textbook for a beginning appreciation course studies the music of the world's peoples by region, describing the older musical layers in a given region first, then presenting increasingly more contemporary musical styles, forms, and attitudes. This edition deletes the chapter on Europe, and replaces transcriptions of the 39 musical examples on the audio CDs with timed listening charts.
